Hello beauties, happy Friday! Today I want to show you some of the makeup looks that I think are pretty to wear during the holiday season, and quite frankly easy to achieve.
New Makeup New Look
The first makeup look is something I would wear on Christmas day that is rather simple and natural, nothing heavy, very fresh and awake looking. I personally prefer this kind of look because it honestly makes me look younger, sometimes less is more people!
Et voila... See what I'm talking about?! There's really not a lot going on. Natural looking brow, a clean winger liner, a little definition on the eyes (I have a sheer wash of gold colour all over the lids and a matte burnt brown over the crease), mascara, a wash of pinky peachy blush on the cheeks and a sheer berry toned lip gloss. Couldn't be easier and so fresh and pretty for the day time. I actually find myself go for this look every single day and it is just no fuss and so darn pretty. You can obviously go for whatever colour you like over the lids but I just think gold is rather appropriate for Christmas.
Now if you are someone who prefers a little more makeup then I suggest go for a bold brow and a glossy red lip.
See?! Pretty and put together. Totally appropriate for Christmas lunch with the family. I have a lot of compliments when I have this makeup on. Honestly people think I'm at my 20's. Good enough for me!
If you are going to Christmas parties and want to look extra glamorous but don't really want to take off the makeup that you already have on then I say just define the eyeliner a little more, add some highlighter and put on your favourite bold lippy.
The one I'm using here is the Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick in Empress which is a gorgeous matte aubergine colour, so opaque and stays on. See makeup can be simple sometimes, all you have to do is change up your lipsticks. I love this look. It is still fresh but definitely more glamorous with that bold lip on.
If you wanna go it all out, have a slight heavier makeup for parties then a smokey eye and a bold red lip are the way to go. I'm not the kinda gal that goes for heavy chunky glitters but if you like that then be my guest but for me I like to smudge out a black eyeliner all over the lids then just apply some eyeshadow that contains subtle gold sparkles, like this one from Charlotte Tilbury. You can then obviously add on some sexy lashes...
If you follow me on Instagram (@eflicciardello) you know that I couldn't live without red lipsticks, especially when going out. Ain't no parties without red hippies.
The one I'm using here is from YSL and it's one of the matte lipsticks in the shade 209. Such a pretty red and it lasts really well on me. I mean you don't have to wear this one, this is just an example, wear whatever red you prefer. I just think red really goes with the holiday atmosphere.
That's it guys, those makeup looks are my go-to party looks. I like simple, natural and fresh looking makeup in case you haven't noticed already. If you like heavier makeup then go ahead, it's Christmas, who cares! Do what you like. Am I right? I hope everyone is having a fab time whatever you are doing and I shall see you next week! Muaahh!
